What settings should I note down and how do I reconfigure my LD6 settings?

Settings to note prior to change
In order to ensure that after you replace your unit you have all information needed to set up the new unit for service you should take note of the following information:

• Current Beam (From Home page by going to LBand > Status) 

          Beam:                                                            .

• RTCM Stations (From Home page by going to LBand > Config > RTCMa (or) RTCMb)

          Note down Enabled stations for both RTCMa and RTCMb (Ex: 32 of 32)

• Antenna Power LBand (From Home page by selecting LBand > Antenna is off/on.

• Antenna Power GNSS (From Home page by selecting GNSS > Antenna is off/on.

• PPS settings (From Home page by going to GNSS > Config). Note down PPS and Polarity.

• NMEA Config (From Home page by going to GNSS > Config > NMEA Config). Note down messages enabled.

• SBAS Config (From Home page by going to GNSS > Config > NMEA Config > SBAS Config). Note down is enabled or disabled.

• Inputs/Outputs (Found from the Home page by selecting Settings > I/O).   

          While in this menu toggle through the available Com ports and be sure to note the source, data, Line and Rate for each configured output.
